English term or phrase: underground cistern
Greetings,

I particularly have in mind the underground water cistern (the water is shallow - at most up to the knees of a man of average size, most probably even shallower) in the above film, where the little girl loses her hearing aid. When she finds it again, it is badly damaged.

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon
